A tubal ligation is considered permanent Birth Control, but there is still a margin of error. You could become pregnant any time afterward. It is estimated that 143 women in 10,000 (1.43%) get pregnant after tubal ligations.
Women have less than a 2% chance of becoming pregnant naturally after having a tubal ligation. If you feel that you may be pregnant after a tubal ligation you should see a Dr as soon as possible to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. Women who have had a tubal ligation are at a high risk for ectopic pregnancy which can be life threatening.
If you had bilateral tubal ligation, there is 100% chance of not getting pregnant.
Yes, you can have a full-term pregnancy after getting pregnant with Mirena.
You have two options available yo you. The first is tubal ligation reversal and the second is IVF or in vitro fertilization. Many times couples will opt for the the IVF due due the fact that many in the medical field are not that aware of tubal reversal surgery. IVF can be very expensive and may not work with the first attempt. Many times couples are just unaware of the pregnancy success rate with tubal reversal. If you would like the pregnancy success rate just search "Tubal Reversal Pregnancy report 2009".

Tubal ligation, usually written bilateral tubal ligation, means getting your tubes tied to avoid pregnancy.
Tubal ligation is a permanent fix. It cuts, ties and burns the tubes whereas making it almost impossible for the egg to pass through for fertilization. There is only a 0.5 percent chance I believe that you could then get pregnant. This is not birth control, its a permanent solution to no longer have more children.
The fallopian tube lengths remaining after a tubal ligation procedure are important determinants of the chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal surgery. (Normal fallopian tube length before a tubal ligation is approximately 10 cm or 4 inches.)Women with tubal lengths of 7.5 cm or longer had a pregnancy rate of 77%. The pregnancy rate declined as tubal length decreased, but even women with the shortest tubes (less than 2.5 cm) became pregnant (38%). Although previously unreported in the medical literature, it became apparent during this study that a repaired fallopian tube of any length can result in pregnancy. Based on reports by women with only 1 fallopian tube, we now know that tubal lengths as short as 1 cm can result in a normal pregnancy.
After tubal reversal surgery it may time time for your hormones to get back to normal. After a tubal ligation or having ones tubes tied the hormones are generally affected. Once the reversal procedure is performed the body then needs to mend itself as well as readjust to the way it was before the initial ligation. Many times after a woman has had a tubal ligation reversal she will notice that her "periods" take a couple of months to get back to normal. She may also notice she gets a bit emotional at times but this is just due to the hormones fluctuating or getting back to normal. This generally only lasts a month or two.
Getting your tubes tied is an expression for a tubal ligation procedure. Tubal ligation is form of female sterilization, a permanent birth control method. Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that seals fallopian tubes and eliminates the chance of pregnancy.
Tubal ligation only affects your chances of getting pregnant, it does not affect childbirth.
According to my research the chances are actually greater than ivf. May god bless you with a child as I feel your pain. I am in the same situation and actually starting my own business to save all proceeds for the procedure. After seven years I am going for a reversal because all my research (extensive over the past 3 years) says that the chances are greater and is less expensive. My pain may be somewhat deeper as I am a childless mother may we pray for each other. Prayer does work! -NYC hopeful mom
